la di da

so I've been trying to write at least once a week so here's an update. Last weekend we went to the MGMT concert, which was awesome. They sounded fantastic live. We had a pretty standard friday- didn't do too much and went to the pub at night. On saturday we went to the Dublin Castle to see what it was like. It seemed pretty cool but we had to wait a long time for a tour so we didn't bother. Instead, we walked to the national irish museum, which is actually very close to our building. It used to be a barracks and is now a HUGE museum. There was way too much to see in one day.
Yesterday and today we just had class, but today we took a trip ti the Leinster House, which is where the Irish parliament sits. We got to see the rooms the senate and house use for legislation, and even met a senator who talked to us for a little. The president of the Labour Party also passed our tour.
Nothing else is very new, just experiencing going to different restaurantes and whatnot. This weekend we go to kilkenny! This is the first trip my friends and I have planned on our own, so we'll see how it goes.

  1. You will love Kilkenny. Make sure to go to the Castle. Are you staying at a hostel or a bed and breakfast? I hope you get to talk to some country people. They are so nice. Can you always understand them?
